About Supreme Court Now

The Court affects your life. You deserve to understand it.

Supreme Court Now is an independent, nonpartisan civic resource. We translate the Court's work — its arguments, its decisions, its dissents — into plain English so any American can follow along, regardless of background, party, or political leaning.

Nonpartisan

We don't endorse outcomes. We explain them, fairly, from multiple perspectives.

Plain English

If your neighbor wouldn't say it, we don't write it. Legal language is translated, never copy-pasted.

Independent

Reader-supported. No political affiliation. No hidden agenda.

Civic-minded

Our goal is understanding — not persuasion. We help readers make up their own minds.

How we cover a case

  1. 01. Read the briefs, oral argument, and opinion in full.
  2. 02. Translate the legal question into ordinary language.
  3. 03. Present supporters' and critics' best arguments fairly.
  4. 04. Explain what changes for everyday Americans — and what doesn't.
  5. 05. Link back to original sources so you can verify everything yourself.
